Producing guidelines, standards and codes such as Building Code of Australia, Green Star ratings and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings for new building and refurbishment projects is a good method to encourage, identify and implement sustainability in construction. In the past, sustainable construction meant traditional approaches to construction was more complex and extensive and less profits in projects to adopt sustainability products and processes. Sustainable construction however should be seen although complex, incorporates aspects of economic efficiency, environmental performance and social responsibility with the aim to meet the needs of today without compromising future’s needs (Lafarge Holcim Foundation
Being the present manager and being appointed by the government at the feasibility stage I am asked to write a report in order to outline the activities required to successfully manage this major project and to ensure that it is completed on time and within budget.
The construction industry is governed by the Building Regulations, which is a statutory instrument which gives the government or local government authority to regulate the construction of buildings. This is supported by approved documents prepared by the office of the deputy Prime Minister, approved by the Secretary of State and issued by the Stationery Office to give practical guidance to contractors when complying with the various regulations. The Construction Design and Management
It is clear to see that throughout the project the tasks and progress were monitored very closely. The project is heavily dependent on the resources provided by its shareholders and in turn they rely on regular updates to reassure them on their investment. In the construction and building industry the methods and application of project management tools are very reliable and well tested. Therefore, it could benefit the project if the it was managed with detailed and defined practises and also follow standards set and agreed upon on a international level.
A basic definition for the procurement is “the way the building is realised” and “involves assembling and organising the skills and services of a team of construction professionals”. (the Construction Round Table, 1995). More precisely, the construction industry describes procurement as “a system that establishes the roles and relationships which make up a project organisation”; hence the overall organisation and communication structure for the management, administration and control of a project is established by the procurement system. (D.C.H Coles, 2010)
The construction industry needs tools and techniques for land use, economic development, and environment planning to cope with development in various locations. This

A: Various construction companies are being called upon to reduce enviormental impact and this site can help to make that easier.
During this part of the report, I will be discussing what problems could occur during each phase (pre-construction, construction, post construction) and how you can go about preventing this from
Projects that have insufficient recourses from the beginning will cause stress among the construction professionals. This may create a better working environment, as it will allow employees to have an adequate workload as well as a suitable amount of work responsibilities. Besides this, there is a need to clarify what is expected from each employee in his or her position. Job instructions and goals must be explicit for professionals, in order to minimize unhealthy distress and increase efficiency.
With the rapid change of the world, thought of management, theory and practise keeps on changing. It has been transformed through innovation. Taking into consideration the uncertainty surrounding the construction industry, it is essential paying attention to how people work within an organisation that has set goals that needs to be achieved. To be able to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to understand management relating issues such as culture, motivation, leadership and issues relating like coordinating, planning and controlling. Understanding the way people and organisations work is very vital when it comes to the built environment. As a Quantity Surveyor some of my duties are to deals with people, technical
The construction industry like many other industries has changed and evolved with time. It is the fourth largest contributor to Australia’s GDP and has played a major role in determining economic growth of the country. In terms of employment, the industry has employed 9% of the Australian workforce making it the fourth largest industry (ABS data).
Another key area that is necessary for the successful completion of the client construction project is the organization for the site meetings. Through a properly planned and conducted site meeting, much can be accomplished since well planned meetings enhance positive achievement, (Shmueli, Pliskin & Fink, 2016, pg 400). However, meetings with no pre-planning will tend to accomplish very little, and always result into a waste of time which is one of the most valuable resources. According to (Shmueli, Pliskin & Fink, 2016, pg 399), for the construction project, personnel have the right to call on the meetings which can be convened by both the Principal Contractor and the organization’s Key Personnel such as the construction Manager, Project Manager, Estimator and the Accountant. In the meeting some of the most important issues that can be discussed comprise of the feasibility of the Project. Generally, feasibility of the any project is based on the project’s Tender Documents.
